Last Year's Resolutions...Revisited

Before We sat down and worked out some goals for this coming year, I figured I would revisit the ones from this year and evaluate them for myself!

Resolutions:FAMILY:
1. Read the Bible through in a year. Didn't quite get there - but I got a lot closer this year than last, and I will be trying again.
2. De-Clutter our home. Did it, although it is an ongoing project - we have a small house after all!
3. Get the plumbing done in the house. Yes, we were able to get that done as well as all the electric in the house!KAYLYNN:
1. Potty Training. She was amazing, and it only took three days (day and night dry since may 2010)
2. Contentment -- learning how to play by herself consistently. She is very good at playing by herself now. She doesn't always choose to, but when told to play by herself she is able!

PERSONAL:
1. Get back to being healthy. I am very content with where I am right now. I worked very hard this year trying to get back to being healthy in all aspects of my life. Though I am no model (and never will be!) I am getting healthier and healthier!! I also weigh less than I did last year at this time!
2. Spend more time with girlfriends. I did spend more time with friends(mostly Kjerste!) this year and have enjoyed doing so. I hope to do more of this in the coming year!

Psalm 127:3-5 Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 128:1-6 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways……thy children like olive plants round about thy table….(KJV)

Psalm 144:12 Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nutured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

Luke 2:40 “And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, And the grace of God was upon him”.

Psalm 112:1-2 Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Isaiah 61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed.
